Runs pretty good for a Farmall Nick
- you should be able to get a lot of work out of it. My brother and I used to fill an engine up with kerosene after draining the oil and let it run for a little bit then drain it - amazing how much dirt and sludge came out even after we had previously cleaned the oil pan.
If you keep on like this you just might get the silly thing to run.
Meanwhile, my Ferguson TEA20 just keeps on ticking along no matter what I do to it....
Needs some fine tuning, but here it is on the first run after putting it back together

Great to see it running Nick.
Nice work.
I tell people that as a kid, I didn't mind mice but after accidentally getting fistfuls of mice pups by accident many times... One learns to not like them...

Haha, I did almost end up with a JD 70 today, you would have been proud of me
When I got my great-grandpa's H Farmall, I took the plug off the rear end and the oil (if you can call it that) just stared at me through the little hole and didn't even think about coming out. I got some out with a stick, put the plug back in and filled it with kerosene and drove it to a local threshing bee and back to get the oil loose and out.
This F-20 is new to me and will be getting some new gaskets, so it will be fun to see how dirty the oil gets this summer. I hope to make the long and slow 15 mile drive out to our little threshing bee in a couple months and plan to belt this one up to the separator...
Ah Nick, so close......some day you'll come over to the dark side!

Nick, which show is your local one?

Not a show, just a threshing bee that has been going on for over 50 years. The owner of the original farm died about 6 years ago, so we now have 3 small threshing bees, two near Hayfield, MN and one near Dodge Center, MN. Two of them only have about a dozen people show up and maybe 50 at the third.

My dream is to find a 1929 D like my great-grandpa began farming with

Here's a crappy video from somewhere between '06-'08 of my H that I inherited from my great-grandpa, the only year that I had it hooked up to a separator... was a little under-powered
